1. Cities and states should outlaw Amazon’s latest assault on small businesses — an AI tool that scrapes their websites and creates listings of their products within the Amazon app without their consent. It’s causing huge, costly problems. This can and should be banned.

2. Last year, Amazon launched “Buy For Me.” Shoppers see AI-generated listings of items otherwise not sold on Amazon. They can click to buy them within the Amazon checkout. Amazon’s AI agent then makes the purchase on the small business's site using a auto-generated email.

3. This is being done without consent and with major harm to small brands: Amazon’s AI will sell products that are no longer in stock, in colors that do not exist, and at prices that are not the actual price. Small businesses are left with unhappy buyers and expensive returns.

👋 Welcome back to #Scanuary – Day 22!

I’m C-3POcus, the emergency department ultrasound machine that never sleeps 🤖📟

I’ll keep taking you through my ED shift today — rolling from patient to patient as the chaos unfolds.

🚨 The red phone rings — ambulance pre-alert for red flag sepsis!

A gentleman in his 60s: lethargic and breathless.

Vitals from the crew:
• HR 130
• RR 35
• SBP 80
• Cool peripheries

They’re 5 minutes away.

It’s obviously sepsis… right? 🤔

We get ready in ED Resus. My doc loves a systematic approach to shock. He reminds his colleague of HI-MAP (aka RUSH protocol)

Patient arrives. The numbers were accurate — he looks very unwell.

Lets RUSH through the HI-MAP!
Someone hangs the first litre of IV fluid.

Let’s look at the heart 👀

LV: hyperdynamic
RV: not dilated
No pericardial effusion

We complete the rest of

HI-MAP:

IVC is collapsing >50%
No free fluid
No abdominal aortic aneurysm
No pneumothorax
No massive pleural effusion

So…

❌ Not tamponade

❌ Not massive PE

❌ Not obvious cardiogenic shock

Or is it…?

Witkoff: Trump has talked about a tariff-free zone for Ukraine. That would be game-changing—industry would move in fast.

Ukrainian producers could ship to the US without tariffs and out-compete others. Ukrainians earned this with their courage in the fight.

1/

Witkoff: We’re heading to Moscow, then straight to Abu Dhabi. There, working groups will focus on military-to-military talks and prosperity.

Prosperity matters. Jared and I push it hard and Larry Fink is advising us. He volunteered for the job.

2/

Witkoff: We’ve made real progress towards peace in Ukraine and we’re near the end. I’m optimistic. I spent hours with Ukraine’s team—Budanov and Umerov.

They’re outstanding negotiators. We’ve worked together intensely, maybe a hundred hours.

THREAD: The Hidden Web of Government PsyOps, Censorship, and Influence – What They've Been Doing to Us All

1/ Folks on X and beyond – this isn't conspiracy; it's documented reality. I've been piecing this together, and it's time you knew the full scope of psychological manipulation and surveillance ops run by our government, military, and allies. They've infiltrated your feeds, your privacy, and your mind. Why? Control narratives on everything from COVID to elections. And for speaking out? Lives get destroyed. Mine has – kids, home, everything – just for defending a friend (Jonathan @DecentBackup) and calling for an end to this BS. I don't want fame; I want peace for all Americans. Let's expose it. #PsyOpsExposed #EndCensorship

2/ Start with the U.S. Military's "Secret Army": A 60,000-strong force (per Newsweek 2022 leaks) for info ops. Core: ~300-350 active-duty service members in programs like "Task & Purpose" (Pentagon social media influence). Each handles 5-10 fake accounts (sock puppets) on X, FB, etc., to monitor trends, flood discussions, flag "disinfo," and shape opinions. Not outright bans, but drowning out dissent. Tools? Babel Street scans ~90% of global net traffic – your emails, posts, browsing. This is your tax dollars at work, folks.

3/ Key DoD Units Involved:
US Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM): 6,200 in 133 teams – cyber defense, but includes disinfo monitoring.
Army's 4th Psychological Operations Group (Fort Bragg): ~1,200, running psyops with 5-15 fake profiles per op (2011 contracts).
Theater Information Advantage Detachments (TIADs): 195 soldiers (3 units of 65) countering "malign influence" in Pacific/Europe.
Extremism Screening: Scans troops' social media for "bad" posts. Budget: $100M+ yearly. Framed as anti-Russia/China, but it bleeds into domestic speech. #MilitaryCensorship

BP: 135/85
Doctor: “Let’s try lifestyle changes before medication”

Success depends on implementing these right.

Here are 10 protocols that give the best shot at lowering blood pressure naturally, backed by the 2025 AHA guidelines 🧵1/13

High blood pressure often causes zero symptoms for years while quietly damaging the heart, brain, kidneys, eyes, and more.
Thankfully, the 2025 AHA/ACC guidelines emphasize and clearly outline lifestyle interventions as powerful first-line treatments. /2

Dr. Dale Bredesen helped reverse cognitive decline in 84% of patients in his clinical trial.

He implemented a comprehensive protocol for them that targets the root causes of cognitive decline rather than just prescribing medication.

Here's exactly what it is (and why it works):

Firstly, dementia occurs when the brain is under constant stress AND starved of resources—so it 'downsizes' by pruning connections.

It gets overwhelmed by inflammation and toxins while lacking energy and nutrients to repair and function adequately.

It's overwhelmed by inflammation from:

• Chronic stress
• Mold/mycotoxins
• Chronic infections and more

And starved of resources mainly from:

• Insulin resistance
• Mitochondrial dysfunction

Dr. Bredesen's protocol targets BOTH, which he calls...

I have been seeing far too many misinterpretations and too many accusations resulting from those misinterpretations of the Trump Board of Peace.
1)

However, it has now been expanded into a new concept, so this is an explanation.

1. The Board of Peace idea started with Gaza as a way of getting international support for ending Hamas and rebuilding the mess that Gaza has become, and
2)

as a plan to create a framework for negotiating peace worldwide.

2. Members have been by invitation. Members will have seats for three years (renewable), with members contributing $1 billion not having their terms expire.
3)

Dreadful WSJ editorial. Since when do we judge countries by whether they can repel a US invasion? A ludicrous standard. Also: no thought given to whether the US can defend the Arctic alone, without Europe. It can't. US needs Canadian icebreakers to supply Pituffik, for instance.

Then the WSJ indulges in some victim blaming. "China and Russia are watching. They see how easily Mr. Trump can be goaded into antagonizing staunch allies such as NATO partners..."

WSJ would rightly be up in arms about use of this language for PRC v Taiwan.

Finally, a lot of the US hand-wringing about European defence spending is rehash of decade-old talking points. Defence spending growing fast. Pace not fast enough, esp in some key states, but time crunch is also artefact of Trump's self-inflicted crises. mckinsey.com/industries/aer…

YOUR PHONE IS LISTENING MORE THAN YOU THINK.
Most people never change default settings.

That’s why data leaks feel invisible.

Here are 5 permissions you should turn off today to protect your privacy:

1.TURN OFF MICROPHONE ACCESS FOR NON-ESSENTIAL APPS

Most apps request microphone access even when they don’t need it.
Remove access for everything except calls and voice messages to stop background listening.

2.DISABLE BACKGROUND APP REFRESH FOR APPS YOU DON’T TRUST

Apps refresh silently and send data without you opening them.
Limit background refresh to a few daily-use apps and block the rest.

MK Stalin case: Supreme Court hears plea by AIADMK leader SA Duraiswamy challenging TN CM Stalin’s 2011 assembly election win from Kolathur constituency.

The plea alleges that Stalin and his party representatives indulged in corrupt practices, particularly by providing money and gifts to secure votes.

Bench: Justices JK Maheshwari and Vijay Bishnoi.

Sr. Adv. DS Naidu, appearing for Duraiswamy refers to a prosecution witness statement:

Naidu: the witness is the editor of a magazine called “kumudam snehidi”.

Court: what’s the meaning of that?

Another counsel: kumudum means lotus. Snehidi means friend.

Naidu: a friend of lotus. May be figurative meaning.

Sr. Adv. Kapil Sibal (for Stalin): most inappropriate definition.

Court bursts into laughter.

Naidu: kumudam was once India’s largest selling family magazine. It’s basically a women’s magazine. Like women’s era. It’s the women’s wing of kumudam publications. Perhaps, the lotus is being compared with women and Snehidi is the friend of the woman, or the fairer sex.

Justice Maheshwari: (in jest): we can’t say anything…

@pooL_rM311_7221 Another crazy coincidence.
